*****Funny '45' from DBs early days. Recorded in 1967, released as a single in 1973. Deram records - his former record company - wanted to pick a grain of profit also from his Ziggy Stardust-fame at the time. Song starts: 'I was walking down the High Street, when I heard footsteps behind me and there was a little old man. scarlet and grey ...'. Refrain: 'Ha-ha-ha hi-hi-hi ... I'm a laughing gnome and you can't catch me!'.
